AMS OSRAM GROUP TCS37203M

TCS37203M is an ALS/Colour and proximity sensor for behind OLED applications. It features ambient light, colour (RGB) sensing, and proximity detection. The ambient light and colour sensing function provides four concurrent ambient light sensing channels: Red, Green, Blue, and Clear. The RGB and Clear channels are covered with a UV/IR blocking filter. This architecture accurately measures ambient light and enables the calculation of illuminance and colour temperature to manage display appearance. The proximity function synchronizes IR emission and detection to sense nearby objects. The architecture of the engine features self-maximizing dynamic range, ambient light subtraction, advanced crosstalk cancellation, and interrupt-driven I²C communication. Sensitivity, power consumption, and noise can be optimized with adjustable IR VCSEL timing and power. The application includes brightness management for displays, colour management for displays, and proximity detection for mobile phones.
